Chinese and Turkish evangelists/explorers claim to have found Noah's Ark atop a Turkish mountain, and are "99.9 percent" sure it is the real deal.
Noah's Ark, according to the Bible, carried the patriarch's family and two of every animal species on Earth through a worldwide flood. The ark rested on Mount Ararat -- and that is where the evangelicals, from Noah's Ark Ministries International, said they have found the wooden specimens. Further, they claim the wood has been carbon dated and found to be 4800 years old, around the same time the ark is said to have existed.
"evidence" from Noah's Ark Ministries The debate as to the historical validity of Noah's Ark, and the search for its remains, has been going on for many hundreds of years. Was it really possible to build a boat according to the specifications given in the Bible that could hold two of all animal species on Earth? And how to reconcile the Biblical story with geological and biological evidence? While the modern view sees the Noah story, as well as the creation story from the Book of Genesis, as symbolic at best, there are many people who passionately support the literalness and historicity of the Biblical accounts.
Noah's Ark Ministries International is applying to UNESCO to have the archaeological site granted world heritage status.
I love how carbon-dating is great for verifying the authenticity of Noah's Ark but when it comes to the real age of dinosaur bones it's a left-wing conspiracy/hoax.

ReplyDeleteNo.
TWO of every animal on Earth, on one ship, the weight would probably cause it to sink. If it did sink, I very much doubt anything they could make back the could take the extreme pressure of the ocean floor.
Was 'the flood' saltwater or freshwater, let's just say it was saltwater, how did freshwater animals survive?
They would have needed an incredible amount of food to survive an indefinite period of time, for not only the animals, but his own family as well.
I may be wrong, but I believe Noah essentially sealed everyone inside the 'ark'. What did they do with the animal and human waste? What about oxygen (if my memory is correct, wouldn't it be exhausted quickly)?
All of the animals in the world were within walking (riding?) distance of Noah's house?
